Chapter 3 Emotions

MEAN WHILE

(Yoruichi)

"Shut up already!" Stark yelled silencing the two sobbing girls "you don't need to worry he's not dead yet" he said with a smirk

"I had to incapacitate him because he just wasn't going to be reasonable and come quietly so the sooner you two girls come with me the sooner I can take him back to Aizen and the sooner we can save him" he said with an attempt at a soothing tone "and then you can live happily with your brother under the care of Aizen-sama"

As soon as he finished speaking Yoruichi managed to control herself again and finally looked away from Ichigo's still body to glare daggers at the approaching espada. As soon as her eyes fell upon him something deep within her snapped and uncontrollable rage flooded through her body. It was like hot fire was flowing through her veins and consuming her entire being urging her to act.

She saw the two girls where contemplating if they should go with the espada hoping that he was telling the truth for their brothers sake, she threw her hand up in front of them as she said "don't listen to him Aizen is a scumbag who wants to make you and Ichigo slaves to do his dirty work and carry out his sick experiments on" her voice was dripping with venom as she said this while slowly sitting up.

As she staggered to her feet she ignored the pain that was shooting through her body she didn't care anymore. She was going to make sure that this person, no, this thing was going to pay for everything he had done today. She was shaking a bit as she pushed herself to remain upright and on her feet and stood to face the approaching espada.

"You have interfered enough already" he said with clear annoyance on his face "now move you are in the way or I will end you right now and I do not want to keep Aizen-sama waiting any longer and disappoint him with a dead corpse"

"Heh I would like to see you try" she said with malice in her voice

"You may want to step back a bit this could get ugly" she said to the young girls over her shoulder as reiatsu began to gather around the back of her arms and shoulders. They immediately stepped back and around the boulder they had been by to take cover and watch in safety.

The build up of pressure ripped the back and arms of her orange shirt to ribbons allowing the rest to fall to the ground in pieces exposing her form fitting black stealth body suit that was skin tight along her legs but loosened slightly around her torso while a strap looped around the back of her neck to hold it in place. The suite left her back and shoulders exposed so that it didn't rip when she used shunko. But the skin tight material she used as sleeves that started half way between her shoulder and elbow and went right down to her wrists wasn't affected by the reiatsu.

As she gathered this reiatsu she slid into a fighting position. Her right leg was out straight in front of her on an angle while the left leg was behind her with a slight bend at the knee lowering her overall body position, her right arm was also outstretched and parallel with her leg while her left arm was raised behind her with a ninety degree at the elbow so that her fist was just above her head also pointing forward. The reiatsu was taking the form of white lightning that was arcing off in the direction of her arms.

she was running solely on adrenaline now but she didn't care right at this point in time all she was focused on doing was making him pay for what he had done to Ichigo and for involving his two kid sisters as well. She looked at him with a finale glare and ran straight for him intending to hit him as hard as she could, she was sending all of her reiatsu to her hands so that her hit would cause as much damage as possible.

But as she was closing the distance between them he suddenly vanished and the next thing she knew he was standing next to her swinging his arm straight for her. Before she could even think of moving out of the way her entire world was rocked by a ferocious back hand that hit her square in the face and sent her rocketing back where she came from. The whiplash of her head caused her to lose her control over her shunko causing it to dissipate into nothing.

She flew through the air for twenty feet but was abruptly brought to a stop as she flew head first into the boulder they had been by just before. Pain consumed her once again and her vision was coming in and out of focus as her head began to spin and the adrenaline rush faded from her body. Any strength or resolve she may have had previously shattered along with it.

She could hear the two girls calling out to her telling her to get back up but she couldn't move a muscle as pain and doubt robbed her of her ability to control her body and she lay limp against the boulder. Watching as death slowly came for her in the form of Stark.

She had always prided herself on being calm and collected in chaotic situations and always knowing how to control herself and her emotions, but something about what happened today just threw her control out the window. In a very rare display the goddess of flash began to panic eventually she just lost it and broke down. Tears began to well in her eyes as she realised that she was actually going to die now, and she realised that she hadn't really helped the young girls or Ichigo at all.

"Ichigo" she whispered in vain

She didn't know why but her heart began to ache at the thought of letting him down, of letting him die! Even worse letting him become a pawn for Aizen. She couldn't take it anymore as tears began to trail freely down her cheeks.

Finally as all of her resolve vanished it struck the goddess, she was for once in her life afraid, she didn't want to die anymore. She may have been prepared before, but now after seeing her favourite red head snuffed out she was frightened of it. She franticly began to babble and cried out

"Ichigo please, you can't die! You have to get up please! You have to save us; you have to get up for your sisters, please get up! Please for me?" "please...ICHIGO!" she finally wailed over the sobs of the Kurosaki twins.

It was then quiet for a while except for the sobs of the two young girls and the slow ominous thuds of Stark's footsteps, she was just about to give up completely when there was a massive blast of reiatsu that flattened all of the women present and stark hunched over slightly from the enormous pressure. The twins managed to look at who it was coming from before passing out due to their inexperience with reiatsu and resisting its force, but Yoruichi looked up to see Ichigo slowly getting up. As her eyes fell on the orange haired shinigami her heart fluttered and relief and joy filled her heart as she realised that they were going to be alright and that Ichigo would save her this time.

She was so happy at the sight of Ichigo standing up until she noticed that something was off, his eyebrows were still in there constant frown but he had a sadistic grin pulling the corner of his mouth up slightly. Also astonishingly the hole in his chest and the cut along his stomach where stitching themselves together. The way he held himself was also different, he stood much more upright but relaxed at the same time. But the thing that was throwing up red flags in her mind where his eyes, instead of his usual warm brown eyes he had bright yellow irises with the whites of his eyes becoming pitch black.

She was further convinced when he spoke

"You really did a number on him for someone who is trying to not kill him didn't you?" he said while looking straight at Stark but his voice wasn't his normal rough yet calming voice, it had a strong echo in the background that added a chill to his words which sent shivers up your spine.

"Hollow?" Yoruichi asked hoping it wasn't but knew better. She knew all about his inner hollow, always looking for a chance to claim dominance over his body even after attaining the vizard powers. But she had never seen it come out like this before and didn't know what to expect exactly.

He seemed to hear her because he turned to the woman but he didn't say anything he just looked at her taking her in studying her reaction intently. After a few seconds she had composed herself again and needed to know what was going on.

"Hollow?" she asked again slowly

He nodded slowly in confirmation

"What are you doing out? What did you do to Ichigo? Give back his body you have no right to be out!" she blurted out before she could stop herself all the while fixing him with a stern glare.

"Geez don't worry that pretty little ass of yours, that look just doesn't suit you. And I'm doing king a fucking favour woman" he said with smirk.

For a second she didn't know if she should be offended or not but quickly forgot about that when he had said he was doing Ichigo a favour.

"What do you mean" she asked studying him intently for any hint of a lie.

"Ha! This shit is so weak that this is almost the third time he has died in the space of a few fucking hours today! Can you believe it? Well I'm getting sick of saving his ass all of the time so I'm gona take care of this myself and show everyone how things should be done and get it over and done with already!" he spat out with disgust but as he saw the look on Yoruichi's face harden even more he added "don't worry I'm not going to run off with this body we made a deal for now, so ease up already I thought I told you that look don't suit you"

She ignored that last comment and told him in a dark dead serious tone "you better not or I will make sure you regret it for the rest of your existence you hear me?"

"Yeah sure whatever you say babe" he said as he just shrugged and rolled his neck.

She bristled up at him calling her babe and was about to let him have a piece of her mind when she was cut off by stark who had stayed quiet this whole time until now.

"Well what do we have here? A hollow that has taken over but is still in human form . . . interesting. So what are you going to do now?" he asked in half interested tone but his eyes had a look of intrigue in them

Hollow looked away from Yoruichi and looked him up and down taking him in and gauging his strength and reiatsu while he spoke. "well I am going to take the words 'pain and suffering' to a whole new level, just for bringing king out here and putting him into a hell of a state cause he wasn't fighting smart. All cause you had to go and threaten his sisters and his woman. And after that? Well I haven't quite got that far yet". As he finished he reached down to pick up Zangetsu which had reverted back to its normal form.

Yoruichi was glad that the attention wasn't on her because oddly enough a slight blush had crossed her cheeks when the hollow had called her 'Ichigo's woman'. She couldn't believe that even in a situation like this she was still thinking about little things like that. She was still berating herself for it as she watched hollow Ichigo pick up Zangetsu and bring it in front of him while pointing it straight at Stark, he brought his left hand and placed it on top of his out stretched arm just above the elbow and said one word.

"Ban...kai!"

There was another huge blast of reiatsu that would have knocked her flat on her back had she not already been leaning against the boulder. Then the pressure vanished and there was a cloud of dust obscuring her vision of the hollow. She knew he was still there because she could feel an enormous reiatsu, it wasn't pressing down on her it was just a presence that just screamed power.

The dust began to settle and she was slowly able to take in his appearance. It looked like Ichigo's normal bankai but his hair had grown slightly, his once short spiky orange locks had grown about roughly two inches so now his fringe fell in his face dangling down and threatened to cover his hard yellow eyes. Giving him more of a shaggy appearance which she thought didn't look too bad on him, his hakama was all the same as his usual bankai, tight around his upper body and arms then fanning out from the waist down. The only difference was a jagged blood red line that spiralled down his right arm starting above his shoulder all the way to his wrist but his blade also now had a thin jagged blood red line spiralling up the length of the blade that pulsed a few times then fade into the blackness of the blade that seemed to absorb all of the light around it.

He gave Stark another glare before he began to chuckle to himself sadistically which sent shivers up Yoruichi's spine.

Then he was gone and a large cut appeared along Starks right arm, and Ichigo appeared about ten yards to his left. His evil chuckle slowly intensifying into a psychotic laugh as he saw the blood dripping to the ground enjoying the feeling of being able to have his fun with someone.

"So fast!" was all she was able to say as she watched him attack, it had been so fast that she had barely been able to follow him.

Stark took a moment to look down at his arm then back at the hollow and his face hardened as he realised the level that they would be playing at now and summoned his sword again. He turned to face the laughing hollow and that was all he had time to do because Ichigo was upon him swinging wildly forcing Stark back with every strike of his blade.

Yoruichi noticed that his fighting style had also altered, it was all wild strikes that at first just looked like mindless swinging but as she continued to observe, she began to see that there was actually a flow in his movements. Each strike would flow smoothly into the next, there were no wasted movements no hesitations and combined with his speed and strength it was a devastating style. It was like a raging river rapid, on the surface it was raw power, rough and ugly but underneath it flowed quick and smooth and manoeuvred around any objects in its way with deadly precision and force sweeping away anything that entered its domain.

And stark had just entered the hollows domain. He was keeping up but just barely the shinigami's hollow was unrelenting in his advances, every time he would parry a hit the hollow would use the momentum of the parry to spin or twist in a second to bring the blade back around again and again

She could only watch in awe as he fought, all of that deadly force and power in fluid and precise strikes made her shiver at the thought of a hollow being able to fight in that manner. She had always assumed they only fought with brute strength and not with intelligence like this one was. Sure the arrancar and espada fought with their heads and could make strategies and one or two were rather smart. But that was given to them by the hougyoku that Aizen had exposed them to, while this was just a hollow not arrancar that possessed an intelligence that was on a instinctual level. This allowed him to attack and react without having to think about it his body would just move of its own accord.

Stark had managed to score a few cuts on the hollow when he had used sonido a few times to get past the hollows defences, but he didn't seem to notice he just cackled even more when ever his blood was drawn to be healed a minute later. Stark was definitely worse off though his jacket was cut to shreds only being held together by a couple of blood soaked strands, he had a cut along his right eyebrow and down the side of his face. He also had numerous cuts covering his arms and legs along with two nasty cuts on his chest but the worst one was a large gash that almost ran the entire length of his back. Starting at his left shoulder and finishing just above his right hip.

It was safe to say that Stark had definitely seen better days.

She kept watching as stark blocked another downward slash from the hollow who instantly spun to the right on the balls of his feet swinging his blade around for a horizontal swipe at the espada who jumped back just in time. The hollow used the moment to spin while reversing his grip on his blade and then lunging forward again punching his arm forward with the blade headed for stark. Stark brought his blade up to stop it from cutting him in two, and lashed out with a punch that connected with hollows face causing him to loosen his grip for a second. That was all he needed, he twisted his blade pulling the blade out of his hand.

But just as he thought he had victory the hollow snatched the chain attached to the handle out of the air and began swinging the blade in wide arcs at stark. He was twirling his blade in vertical circles at his side alternating each side with each swing in a figure eight motion while stark blocked the onslaught.

Stark instantly regretted removing Zangetsu from the hollows hand because now the blade was moving even faster than before and he was having trouble keeping up with the sharp instrument. Suddenly the hollow made a large horizontal swipe which was dodged but stark was to slow to block the over head swing that followed and cursed as the blade embedded itself in his left shoulder slicing through his muscles and some bones before it hit a cluster and stopped.

Yoruichi gasped as the blade pierced Starks shoulder but kept watching in silence to see what would happen next. Then a psychotic look flashed across his face and his sadistic grin doubled as an idea popped into his head. She suddenly noticed the red spiral on Tensa Zangetsu was glowing and pulsing slowly as he reached forward to grab its handle.

(Stark)

Stark couldn't move out of shock and pain from the blade imbedded in his shoulder but slowly started to come out of his daze when a red spiral running the length of the black blade began to glow and pulse followed by an intense burning sensation stemming from the wound and spreading through his body. It was absolutely excruciating and the pain rooted him in place again as fear ripped through him as he thought of what might happen next.

He looked into those cold eyes, the stuff of nightmares; look straight back at him with hate and bloodlust which made for a terrifying sight. Then those eyes widened slightly and the sight became even more fear inducing as a psychotic look flashed through them quickly followed by a sadistic grin. He felt a whole new level of fear run rampant in his mind as the burning sensation intensified and the hollow slowly reached forward and grabbed the handle of the pulsing blade.

"Now you are going to know what happens when people mess with king and the people he cares for" he said quietly while he gave him a piercing stare that seemed to look right through him into his mind and soul.

For a second he just looked at him then the hollow began to say a word that broke him mentally as he finally knew what was going to happen to him and he panicked and tried to bring his blade up to do something to escape his fate but it was too late.

(Yoruichi)

She watched on in silence the tension in the air was so thick that she was scared to even move a muscle. She watched as the two just looked at each other for a few seconds, but it felt like hours then the hollow said something to Stark and he looked as if he was a little kid afraid of the dark trying to hide from any monsters. That look of fear increased as she heard hollow say something that would seal the espada's fate, she watched as the espada struggled franticly and started to bring his blade around to try and escape but he was far too late for that now.

"Getsuga Tenshou!" he said excitedly as black reiatsu tinged with red gathered around the blade then shot straight down tearing effortlessly through his body. Eating away bones and incinerating any flesh and organs in its way, as it went through and collided with the ground a huge cloud of dust was thrown up as a shockwave shot out from the attack pressing her hard against the boulder she was leaning on.

As the dust settled she could make out a lone figure standing in a small crater. She let out a breath she didn't realise she was holding when she saw that it was Ichigo's hollow standing there with Tensa Zangetsu beside him still glowing. He continued to stare at the mangled form of what was left of Starks body, most of his left side was gone or severely mangled. There was no blood because when 'getsuga tensho' ripped through him it cauterized all of the flesh that remained, but it was still a sickening sight. Any normal person would be emptying the contents of their stomachs at the sight.

He noted that his two pistols where both off to the side slightly but didn't worry too much about it and turned to walk away.

Yoruichi watched carefully as he started to walk back in her direction then pause and drop to his knees and slump over slightly. She was startled by this and she was scared something had happened to him, even though it was the hollow it was still Ichigo's body that was suffering. But she watched as he lifted his head to look at her and her eyes locked with warm light brown eyes.

(Ichigo)

Ichigo was sitting with his legs crossed and his blade resting across his knees. He had been watching the whole fight and keeping an eye on everything that the hollow had done, he had been able to observe in his mind what was happening outside through the hollows eyes. He had been impressed by what he had seen but at the same time disturbed by the ferociousness and brutality of his fight. But was extremely surprised when his hollow had finished his fight and began to walk towards the girls but then showed up sitting next to him.

He blinked a few times then reached over and poked his hollow in the arm and was again surprised to feel it was solid. He had been prepared to try and fight his hollow for dominance so was totally confused when he came back of his own accord.

"Are you alright? Why did you come back when you could have kept going?" he asked with a very puzzled look on his face.

"What? I told you I would come back. And I got to have my fun with that espada so I'm satisfied for now" he said with a deep frown on his face

"Wow I was thinking you had just said that to make me ease up on you and let you go this time and had really thought I was going to have to fight you to get you back." he said while he scratched the side of his face

"Yea yea whatever. Now did you see what I did? That is how you fight! You better learn from what you saw because if you keep getting your ass kicked I will take over permanently you got that?" he said as his voice began to rise a bit

"Got ya" he said quickly

The hollow just glared at him for a second then seemed to accept his response then turned to look straight ahead and said "Good then. Now get out of here and go to your woman before she starts to panic"

"She is not my woman!" he yelled back.

"Yea sure whatever you say, just hurry up and get out of my sight already" he said as he pushed Ichigo.

Ichigo paused then a smirk crossed his face. "If I didn't know any better I would say you care about me don't ya?" he said with a small chuckle but had to roll out of the way of the hollows blade as it passed right through where his head had been a second ago.

"Don't go and get any ideas there king, this is just self preservation nothing more. If you die I die it's that simple got it? The hollow growled holding his blade ready to strike again if Ichigo made another comment.

Ichigo just nodded and started to fade away as he took conscious control of his body.

The hollows features softened ever so slightly as the red head faded away and he sat back down.

"What do you think? Do you think he will learn from this ordeal or not old man?" The hollow asked as Zangetsu appeared behind him

Zangetsu was quiet for a bit as he contemplated everything. "I'm not sure to be honest. I hope he does open up to this because I have a feeling that he will need all of the strength possible in the near future" he said and hollow just nodded as they both began to wonder about what the future would have in store for them.

As Ichigo opened his eyes and took a few deep breaths he noticed that his body was aching and a little stiff but other than that it was pretty good considering what it had gone through today. As he got a hold of his bearings he looked up to see where everyone was and his eyes fell on Yoruichi looking at him anxiously. He smiled as he saw her whole body relax as their eyes locked and he was glad that she was safe now.

He slowly got to his feet, his body was feeling extremely heavy but he didn't care and started to walk in her direction. As he got closer he looked around looking for his sisters and relaxed as he felt a weight lift off his shoulders when he saw both of them around the side of the boulder that Yoruichi was against, passed out but both fine. He was relieved to know that everyone was finally safe.

When he was in front of her and looked at her he noticed a glowing red light that was around her right arm but forgot about it when he saw the state of her body. Every bruise and cut on her made him angry again but not angry at the one who did this to her but at himself for allowing this to happen to her because he wasn't strong enough. But he was brought out of that thought path when he saw tears welling in her golden eyes.

Before he knew what he was doing he dropped to his knees beside her and gently pulled her into his arms, at first she did nothing then she wrapped her arms around him and clutched at him as hard as her tiered arms could and buried her face into his chest as the emotional stress of the day got the better of her. He knew she was crying as he felt the front of his hakama getting wet but because he didn't exactly know what to say to her at the moment, he gave her a reassuring squeeze and rubbed her back slowly to let her know it was alright and that he was there for her.

They stayed like this for a while just holding each other not wanting to let the other go, afraid if they did the other would be taken from them. As he held Yoruichi in his arms a bright light flashed behind him and he looked around to see what the source was

He was surprised to see a young girl kneeling beside Starks remains. She was young maybe around twelve or thirteen years old with a very small frame for a body. She had short green hair that was mostly hidden by a smooth white helmet like object on her head that came down and went around her left eye and had a red flame pattern above it, the fragment also had two horns one was broken about a inch above her head while the other one curved upwards. This was what was left of her mask after she became an arrancar.

She had a pink eye and had a small hole in her stomach above her belly button. She wore hardly any clothing she had black boots and white leggings that ran from her ankles up to about midway up her thigh, she also wore a small vest that just went around her shoulders and barely covered her modest chest leaving an awfully lot of exposed skin. She wore a bikini style bottom and had sleeves that started just below her shoulders and ran down the length of her arms and finished above her knuckles, all of her clothes were a plane white.

He watched as she looked around and saw him, and then watched as the anger in her eyes intensified until it was full on rage.

(Lilinette)

When she opened her eyes she was lying on the ground in a shallow crater in her arrancar form again. She instantly got up and looked around for Stark as she remembered what had happened just before. She felt her heart shatter as her eyes roamed across what was left of him; she crawled to his side and was almost sick at what they had done to him. She remembered as that shinigami had said those two words that he had quickly grabbed her out of the holsters at his sides and tossed her to the side. She had been pissed at the time but now she saw why he had done it.

She felt even more loss as she realised that he had cared for her so much, that with his last moments of life he had made sure that she was safe and she would survive.

Pain racked her entire being as she looked around for the one responsible for this, she found him on his knees holding the dark skinned woman not too far away from her. As their eyes met her pain slowly turned to anger which turned to uncontrollable rage as she kept looking at him. She began to tremble with furry then turned and looked at her partner one more time and lost it, this man would pay for what he had done and she was going to make sure of it.

As she made her decision she slowly sat up and raised her arm up to point it straight at Ichigo with her open palm to him. A pink orb began to gather in her palm and she grinned at the looks of horror on their faces as the ball of pink energy began to grow and expand. When it reached a sufficient size she said one word under her breath dripping with hate

"Cero" and the orb rocketed towards her partner's killer.

(Ichigo)

He got a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach as he saw the emotions on her face then watched as she turned to look at Stark again then back to him, and he really didn't have a good feeling about how this was going to end. As he saw the rage written all over her face and continued to watch as she raised her hand to them and suddenly alarm bells started going off in his head as he could almost guarantee what was about to happen next.

His fears were confirmed as he watched in horror as a ball of pink energy began to gather in her palm. Then as the cero was released he felt Yoruichi's body tense and her grip on him tighten, he looked down to see that she was peeking out from around his arm at the incoming cero. He would have just flash stepped out of the way but his sisters were still in the line of fire so that was out of the question.

"When will it end" he said in frustration as he picked up Zangetsu and began to charge the little reiatsu he had left into his blade to hopefully destroy the cero since dodging was out of the question.

He was just about to release a getsuga tenshou when he heard someone yell out

"Bakudo 81 Danku" (way of binding 81 splitting void)

"Bakudo 61 Rikujokoro" (way of binding 61 six rods prison of light)

Suddenly there was a haze in front of him and the cero smashed into it but was brought to a halt by the clear barrier

As he watched this happen he realised that they were saved, but he was worried again as he thought that he didn't know if the person who had saved him was a friend or foe. After this thought passed through his mind he felt his body becoming incredibly heavy. He tried to resist the darkness but it was just too much as the stress and events of the day finally caught up to him and quickly overpowered him. As the darkness claimed him the last thing he was aware of was the comforting weight of Yoruichi against his chest and her grip around him, he griped her tighter not going to let her go and let her get hurt again then there was nothing.

(Next day)

(Ichigo)

He felt heavy, his eyelids where heavy resisting his will to open them. His body ached and he felt out of sync but he managed to open his eyes and take in a bit of his surroundings. He was lying down on a nice soft futon, the ceiling was a dim brown colour with a light hanging from it a little to his left the walls a dirty green colour that seemed extremely familiar to him but he couldn't quite place where from.

He tried to figure out how he got here, and then suddenly the events before he blacked out rushed back to him. He then realised that Yoruichi wasn't in his arms anymore and he was by himself, fear griped his heart at the thought of not knowing where the girls were. He bolted upright in a second and started calling out their names as all rational thought left his head swamped by fear and anxiety.

"YORUICHI? KARIN? YUZU? Where are you? He yelled franticly

He was so consumed with worry he didn't even realise he was in Urahara's shop until he ran into the hall and smacked into Kisuke himself. They both fell to the ground in a tangled heap and stayed like that as Ichigo just stared at him his mind slowly calming down and piecing together what this meant. Once the realisation of where he was and that he was safe set in, he quickly untangled himself from Kisuke and sat in the middle of the hallway in front of him.

Then the questions started to come out like a burst dam.

"Where are my sisters and Yoruichi? Are they alright? How did we get here? When did we get here? Who saved us? How long have I been out?" they kept coming out in quick succession.

Kisuke watched him for a second with a blank expression on his face, he was surprised he had so much energy after only waking up a second ago and everything he had been through yesterday. He then raised his hand to silence him but when Ichigo kept going on he got impatient and smacked him across the head with his fan.

"OI! What was that for?" Ichigo yelled at him while he nursed the bump that was forming on his head.

"You wouldn't calm down and let me explain so I had no choice" he said while smirking behind his open fan.

"Ok now that your listening I will let you know that Aizen managed to escape, and we have restored karakura town to its rightful place. Also your sisters are safe, they are at home and have had their memories altered slightly so they will think the whole ordeal was a horrible nightmare" he said and paused as he watched Ichigo relax a bit at the news of his sisters.

"And I was able to find you thanks to the band I gave to Yoruichi before she followed you which contained a bit of my reiatsu in it and acted like a beacon for me to find her no matter where you ended up. But I was lucky to find you on the outskirts of rakongai in soul society, though I was rather shocked at the same time that he would choose to go into enemy territory." he paused again as Ichigo processed what he had said

"So that's what that band was for" he thought out loud as he remembered seeing the glowing band on her wrist.

"Yes and we were lucky to come when we did or things could have been a lot messier" he stated

"We? Who else was with you?" Ichigo quickly asked

"Rukia-san and Renji-san accompanied me. Shortly after we had dealt with the menos that had come through into this world another garganta opened and the rest of the group that had been in hueco mundo came through it. Except captain Mayuri and his lieutenant they went straight back to soul society. But when I said I was going to find and assist you and Yoruichi, Rukia and Renji insisted on joining me." as he said this Ichigo's lips pulled into a small smile at the thought of his friends always having his back.

"When we found you we arrived just in time to see the cero being fired at you and had just enough time to erect a barrier in front of you and capture the girl. We took her back to soul society to try and learn anything about Aizen and any future plans. But we didn't learn too much, she was in such a state that she wouldn't cooperate very much. I don't really blame her after seeing the state in which you left her partner." Kisuke said as he gave Ichigo a questioning look

Ichigo cringed slightly at what he said and the look he was giving him. "That was the hollow. I was pretty much dead and he came out to finish it and I think he was trying to make a point at the same time" he said while looking away from Urahara.

Urahara frowned but didn't push the matter any further for now. "well we did learn that when you had entered Hueco mundo Stark had been ordered to find your sisters because of his ability to track and hide his presence, he was to find them and bring them along just in case anything didn't work out as planned, such as you defeating your opponents in hueco mundo and returning to the living world. It seems that you were supposed to be a piece in the next part of his plan." he paused for a second then continued

"They were meant to be used as leverage against you to make you cooperate once he had returned to Hueco mundo. So they went to the real world and were able to search undetected and found that everyone was gone so decided to check soul society for the hell of it. And their lucky guess paid off when they got there. As they stumbled across the real karakura town she told us that their job was made even easier as they were part of the few people in the living world that had been influenced by your reiatsu and were walking around while everyone else was out cold. And that was that they just had to grab them knock them out and head to the real world just as Aizen had come from hueco mundo." he explained and studied Ichigo as he again processed the information he had just given him

He seemed satisfied with what he heard and nodded telling Kisuke that he understood everything then he looked up again "Ok so where is Yoruichi? You haven't told me if she is alright or not yet, you have told me about everything else but you've been avoiding mentioning her. Why is that? Did something happen to her? Is she safe?" he started to ramble as he started to expect the worst

Urahara chuckled behind his fan 'rather observant boy he is' he thought to himself

He was about to put Ichigo's fears to rest when he was interrupted by a door sliding open behind Ichigo and a head of purple hair popping out and looking about for the source of all the commotion.
